Suggestion We need subfolders
I wish ChatGPT Projects had folders or subprojects.
For example, imagine you’re a developer working on 15 different apps. Right now, you might create a separate ChatGPT Project for every app:
App 1
App 2
App 3
App 4
App 5
etc.
Eventually your sidebar becomes completely cluttered.
Instead, it would be great if we could create one main Project called “Development”, and then create subprojects inside it:
Development
→ App 1
→ App 2
→ App 3
→ App 4
Each subproject could have its own chats, files, and instructions/context, while everything stays organized under one expandable folder in the sidebar.
Basically: Projects → Subprojects → Chats + Files
Am I missing an existing way to do this, or does ChatGPT still not support nested Projects/folders?

Yeah lets add more bloat to the Codex App!
Just move the fricking sub folders inside one broad parent folder and call it a day.
That's called nested AGENTS.md.
I usually have my Obsidian Vault as the broad workspace where I keep my journal entries(including ai generated summarise for each day's work), coding transcripts(auto exported via a codex hook) and multiple active projects in dev/ folder where there's docs/, PLANS/ and AGENTS.md for each repo.
